ASTD CPLP®
Certification
The ASTD CPLP® - Certified Professional in Learning and
Performance - is the new global credential for the Learning &
Performance Profession.
For example, just as the accounting profession has the CPA
(Certified Public Accountant), the American Society for Training &
Development (ASTD) is able to distinguish its expert practitioners
and learning leaders by assessing them against the professional
standard outlined in the ASTD Competency Model™ via the Certified
Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP®) competency-
based certification process.
CPLP® enables you to validate your expertise, stay competitive, and
advance your career in learning and performance.
The ASTD Competency Model equips you with the tools to be the
best in the field and the CPLP® certification demonstrates to others
that you have real-world, skills-based, practical, professional
expertise.

Who is
Owl’s Ledge
16
Founded by Trish Uhl in 2003, Owl‟s Ledge LLC is a learning & performance and
project management consulting firm that designs, develops, and delivers
business results.
We pride ourselves on taking a holistic approach to developing learning
programs that integrate a wide range of disciplines, from business acumen, to
change management, to organizational development, to incorporating the best in
adult learning theory.
Using this approach, we help learning organizations become transformative,
global, innovative, and strategically enabled.
Which supports our mission:
Empowering learning & performance professionals to be ready, willing and able
to address mission critical business needs and face the challenges ahead.
A Little History - The Owl’s Ledge Story
“Owl‟s Ledge” is an homage to the Uhl family; as the name was originally coined by
Trish‟s mother – Karen – back in the 1970s. It‟s a play on words - “Ühl” in old German
means “wise, old owl.”
Karen used the name for her own company – a cattery (yes, cattery) – where she bred,
raised, and showed Siamese cats. Matter of fact, you can find ads and listings for the
original Owl‟s Ledge in old copies of Cat Fancy and Cat Fancier magazines – including
one featuring Trish‟s first cat , Namtaal.
Tom, Trish‟s dad, is the artist who created the familiar owl logo. He drew it for his wife.
So, in 2003, when Trish was considering names for her new consulting firm, she took
inspiration from her mother‟s battered business card, which she carried in her wallet
since her mother passed away from cancer in the late 1970s.
Since then, Owl‟s Ledge has continued to attract members of the Uhl family, including
Trish‟s brother, Jason. Jason - a teenager at the time- wrote the first Owl‟s Ledge
slogan – “Owl‟s Ledge: We‟ll take you from computer stumped to computer savvy!”
He‟s been Trish‟s Chief Marketing Officer ever since. 

  • 16. Owl’sLedge Transforming Learning& Performance Worldwide OWL’SLEDGE www.owls-ledge.com 630/510.1461 Who is Owl’s Ledge 16 Founded by Trish Uhl in 2003, Owl‟s Ledge LLC is a learning & performance and project management consulting firm that designs, develops, and delivers business results. We pride ourselves on taking a holistic approach to developing learning programs that integrate a wide range of disciplines, from business acumen, to change management, to organizational development, to incorporating the best in adult learning theory. Using this approach, we help learning organizations become transformative, global, innovative, and strategically enabled. Which supports our mission: Empowering learning & performance professionals to be ready, willing and able to address mission critical business needs and face the challenges ahead. A Little History - The Owl’s Ledge Story “Owl‟s Ledge” is an homage to the Uhl family; as the name was originally coined by Trish‟s mother – Karen – back in the 1970s. It‟s a play on words - “Ühl” in old German means “wise, old owl.” Karen used the name for her own company – a cattery (yes, cattery) – where she bred, raised, and showed Siamese cats. Matter of fact, you can find ads and listings for the original Owl‟s Ledge in old copies of Cat Fancy and Cat Fancier magazines – including one featuring Trish‟s first cat , Namtaal. Tom, Trish‟s dad, is the artist who created the familiar owl logo. He drew it for his wife. So, in 2003, when Trish was considering names for her new consulting firm, she took inspiration from her mother‟s battered business card, which she carried in her wallet since her mother passed away from cancer in the late 1970s. Since then, Owl‟s Ledge has continued to attract members of the Uhl family, including Trish‟s brother, Jason. Jason - a teenager at the time- wrote the first Owl‟s Ledge slogan – “Owl‟s Ledge: We‟ll take you from computer stumped to computer savvy!” He‟s been Trish‟s Chief Marketing Officer ever since.  Owl’s Ledge - Today ?
